He thinks he's too old. She thinks she's too young. Can these teachers learn that love defies all boundaries? Born and raised in London, Isobel Turvine knows nothing about farming, but after most of the students in her school evacuate during Operation Pied Piper, she's left with little to do. Then her friend Margery talks her into joining the Women's Land Army, and she finds herself working the land at a manor home in Yorkshire that's been converted to a boys' school. A teacher at heart, she is drawn to the lads, but the handsome yet stiff-necked headmaster wants her to stick to farming. Left with an arm that barely works from the last "war to end all wars," Gavin Emerson agrees to take on the job of headmaster when his school moves from London to Yorkshire, but he's saddled with the quirky manor owner, bickering among his teachers, and a gaggle of Land Army girls who have turned the grounds into a farm. When the group's blue-eyed, raven-haired leader nearly runs him down in a car, he admonishes her to stay in the fields, but they are thrown together at every turn. Can he trust her not to break his heart?
